While I love crafting for my daughters’ American Girl dolls, I also enjoy crafting with my daughters. At their age though, the crafts have to be fairly simple and completed in one session so they don’t lose interest. I have been teaching them to sew using plastic canvas so I came up with a simple project that the girls can make by themselves. Keep reading to see how you can make a quick and easy American Girl doll headband crafted from plastic canvas. These work up super quick. My daughters finished theirs in about a half an hour so this was perfect for their attention spans. Miss S and Miss A were so proud of themselves for making the doll headbands all on their own.

The New Year is almost here! It is quick and easy to make a New Year Tiara for your doll from just a few simple craft supplies. After all, your dolls will want to join in on the fun too! This AG doll craft is a great one for kids to make on their own, especially if you use white glue instead of the glue gun. If you opt for using a glue gun, which speeds things up a bit, then there will need to be adult supervision. Materials needed to make a New Year Tiara for your doll 2 – 12 inch Pipe Cleaners (I used white, but it would be even better to match the pipe cleaner to the color of your beads.)

About this time last year, my daughters informed me that their AG dolls needed an Easter basket. So I set to work designing one from plastic canvas. Since Easter is fast approaching, I thought I would share it here. The 18 inch doll Easter Basket works up really quick and doesn’t require much plastic canvas or yarn. It is an easy enough pattern that young girls can make it by themselves with a little guidance. I have found that plastic canvas projects are wonderful for teaching young girls sewing basics. This pattern features the Roman stitch, which is just a combination of horizontal and vertical straight stitches. The effect looks a bit like a woven basket. Supplies needed to make your own 18 Inch Doll Easter Basket 1 sheet 7 ct. plastic canvas 3 inch plastic canvas circle Pale pink worsted weight yarn Plastic canvas needle Scissors Small amount of … Continue reading →

I make a lot of clothes for my daughters’ dolls. If I have enough fabric left over, I like to also make matching hair accessories. With just a small piece of fabric and 15 minutes, you can have a cute matching American Girl doll headband. First cut a piece of fabric 3″ x 10″. I like to use a disappearing ink pen to mark the fabric to make sure it is uniform in size. Turn in 1/2 inch on the short edges and press. Optionally baste to hold in place. Pin right sides together and stitch down long side. Press seam open. Turn right side out. (A large safety pin is helpful for this task.) Press with seam running down the middle of the doll headband. Cut a 4″ piece of 1/2″ elastic. (All I had on hand was 1/4″ elastic and that works too!) Insert elastic into one end … Continue reading →
